Recipe: Freshly Squeezed Lemonade

As we were driving home from Iris late one night last week we found ourselves going right past Evelyn & Brian's home which is also home to our favorite thriving lemon tree. Naturally, we didn't hesitate to pull over and pluck a few.

I finally got around to juicing 'em up this afternoon.

Our twelve GINORMOUS Meyer Lemons yielded just over 4 cups of juice. Which, in turn, produced one gallon of lemonade plus two cups of juice left over for Farilla's smoothies, and such.
